Tacos in St. Louis area

How’s the new product development coming?

 

I'm back at the drawing board today. I'm just going to redign the whole thing. The combo bidet/ bottle opener was proving difficult to integrate with the first design.

So I'll start there

 

Checks out.

 

That looks like a LIMA 2.3. I've got a blown one of those in an old ranger. I was thinking I would swap the motor but I can't find another running one under $1000 since they are ancient. Now I'm thinking 5.0 swap but those are also getting old. Anyone know of good auto salvage around STL? I'm a little west of there near Washington.

 

None of the auto salvage is good. It just.... Is.

More cost effective to find a car you want parts off of at the Target on Hampton and nab the parts while they're inside shopping

 

Is that how you started your catatonic diverter collection?

 

Can't give away all of my sources....

 

Are you set on a Ford motor? There seems to be more Chevy/ LS stuff in varying sizes available down here.

 

From what I can gather, most of the modern v style motors are fairly wide and the ranger is very narrow in the front frame rails. I just know the 302 will fit. If I was a little smarter I wouldn't mind throwing a honda 4 banger in. I am a little intimidated by the wiring

 

Would one of these be too much?

That would be great.....except I was looking for something cheap. It's a trash truck that I bought only to spend some time with my son. I thought he would like doing some suspension and body work to make it white trash fab. Bonus if it does one wheel burn out. I'm currently working on putting a new head gasket just to see if it will run. It's something to do and only costs $50 but the cylinder is scored pretty badly so I don't have a lot of hope. At least my son is having fun

 

S#1tbox, gotcha.

 

Know that that needs? The hitchshitter 9000

 

Supported

 

If you made it extra strong it could work as a tow hook too…

 

I think you're onto something here...........

 

I’m actually pro-cyclist when they don’t do dumb shit but fuck e-bikes.

 

It's the holier than thou attitude that does it for me

 

The version I have now is a d-ring mountable hole in the hitch that also serves as a swivel point for the seat.

Don't need to shit but your buddy is stuck? No need to remove the shitter lid, it'll have a full strength pass through hole for a D-ring. You just need to lift the seat to have access to it.

So far the bottle opener/ bidet part is integrated into the seat/ armor part. Obviously a quick disconnect for the bidet water.

It's a lot of parts and I want the presentation to be right before I post any pictures of it
